Chapter 655: Ten Thousand Demons Paying Homage
Wuji Continent.
The end of the year was approaching.
Other continents, such as Divinity Continent, and some others, were very cheerful, preparing to welcome the New Year.
Continents like Tianying Continent simply didn't observe this so-called New Year.
And Wuji Continent, belonged to those that welcomed the New Year.
But the New Year on Wuji Continent was exceptionally strange, lacking any joyous atmosphere whatsoever.
The citizens of Wuji Continent hung peach branches everywhere, seemingly trying to dispel some kind of evil spirits.
In a certain deep mountain on Wuji Continent.
Ye Luo, whose name shook the world, was sitting cross-legged in a temple on this mountain; his eyes closed in silence, it was unclear whether he was resting or cultivating.
Whoosh...
A faint noise suddenly sounded.
At the sound of this faint noise,
Ye Luo abruptly opened his eyes and looked into the distance.
He saw a skinny figure dragging something that looked like but wasn't quite a cow, sneaking into the dilapidated temple.
This skinny figure was none other than Xu Wa.
"What have you hunted down this time?"
Ye Luo spoke, somewhat at a loss for words.
During the time he spent on Wuji Continent,
Xu Wa went hunting every day, often venturing far, far away, sometimes even crossing over to other continents for the hunt, all for the sake of food.
Such trouble he took, for nothing else but to eat.
This left Ye Luo extremely speechless.
"Ah? Big Senior Brother, you weren't sleeping? I hunted a cow, let's eat it together."
Xu Wa said, scratching his head and appearing somewhat embarrassed.
"You eat."
Ye Luo rubbed his forehead and shook his head.
Asking if he was asleep—as if he needed to sleep at his realm!
But he was too lazy to bother with Xu Baby.
He couldn't even if he wanted to.
As for identity, Xu Baby served as a personal attendant to his Respected Master; he had no authority to manage him.
Besides, Xu Wa wasn't neglecting his cultivation.
His strength was certainly not low.
Ye Luo thought about this and decided to close his eyes again.
But before he could do so, he noticed Xu Baby wasn't immediately starting to cook the meat.
Instead, he picked up a book and began to scribble and sketch in it.
"What are you writing?"
Ye Luo asked, curious.
"Writing a culinary recipe book,"
Xu Wa replied without lifting his head.
Upon hearing this,
Ye Luo was taken aback.
A recipe book?
A child so small, and he was pondering over a recipe book?
With perplexity in his heart, Ye Luo walked over to Xu Wa and looked at what he was writing.
Upon seeing Xu Wa's writings, he was stunned.
What were all these things?
He saw that Xu Wa had a book in his hands, and the book had a line written on it.
'To the north of Wuji, there's a cow, whose bellow is like thunder, with three legs...'
"What is this?"
Ye Luo couldn't help but ask aloud.
"Ah? Big Senior Brother, this is a recipe book, documenting the sources of various ingredients..."
Xu Wa turned his head and explained.
"Recipe book..."
Ye Luo fell silent.
He felt Xu Wa was truly at leisure.
To be doing such a thing.
Documenting the sources of various ingredients?
Forget it.
There was no need for him to bother so much.
Ye Luo silently walked back.
Letting Xu Wa fiddle on his own.
...
Time trickled by.
Shortly, the turn of the New Year was upon them.
Ye Luo, who had kept his eyes tightly shut, suddenly opened them, his gaze turning towards the firmament.
His Divine Sense had long since spread in all directions.
He detected fluctuations as soon as they appeared nearby.
"This fluctuation..."
Ye Luo's figure moved, and he arrived outside the dilapidated temple, looking up at the firmament.
Among his field of vision, countless ethereal shadows appeared above the firmament.
Every shadow was incredibly ferocious, resembling ancient demons, exuding an aura of malevolence.
But at this moment, these apparitions did not engage in any malevolent acts; rather, they all knelt on the ground, appearing quite frightened, all worshipping in one direction.
"A myriad of demons worshipping?"
"This doesn't seem like the work of demons, but more like a phenomenon formed after a special kind of breakthrough."
"These things are indeed not substantial, just visions."
Ye Luo muttered to himself in a low voice.
He had already begun to form a guess in his heart.
It seemed that there was a cultivator on the Wuji Continent.
And the situation at hand was more like a vision formed during a breakthrough.
Ye Luo began to spread his Divine Sense far and wide into the surroundings.
He attempted to capture the person on the Wuji Continent who was breaking through.
But no matter how he swept his Divine Sense, he couldn't find anything.
"Hmm??"
Ye Luo frowned slightly.
This was impossible.
He couldn't find them?
There were only two possibilities for such a phenomenon to occur.
One was that the person was not on the Wuji Continent, but their fate was linked to the Wuji Continent, so their breakthrough could cause visions there.
The other was that the person's cultivation levels were higher than his, so he could not detect them.
After much thought,
Ye Luo still felt that the second possibility was more likely.
If it were the second case, then it would be much simpler.
Ye Luo's eyes concentrated, and the Heavenly Dao Imprint between his eyebrows burst forth with a golden radiance, a Divine aura descended from the heavens onto him, causing his aura to surge dramatically.
Ye Luo's Divine Sense connected with heaven and earth, leveraging the momentum of the world to sweep across the entire Wuji Continent.
With the aid of the power of heaven and earth,
Ye Luo instantly located the source.
In the depths of the mountains, countless formations shielded the area, preventing him from seeing inside.
But he was certain that the phenomenon must have emanated from something within these mountains.
"Xu Baby, stay here and wait for me to return!"
Ye Luo left behind those words.
His figure moved, sweeping towards the deep mountains.
With the blessing of heaven and earth, Ye Luo was overwhelmingly powerful, and in a moment, he arrived outside the deep mountains.
With but a thought, Ye Luo traversed tens of thousands of miles.
His strength was unimaginably potent.
Arriving outside the deep mountains.
"This is the place."
Ye Luo formed swords with his fingers and slashed towards the mountains.
With this strike, he gathered terrifying Sword Qi and directed it at the mountains.
Boom!
His sword carried no grand visions, but the Great Dao is profoundly simple.
This sword easily destroyed all the formations outside the mountains, utterly domineering.
Rustle...
A sound echoed out.
Ye Luo was slightly startled for a moment.
The next second, a figure appeared in front of him.
This figure, dressed in white, emanated a powerful aura; an aura that belonged neither to the new era nor to the old era.
It seemed to originate from a more ancient, savage essence.
Ye Luo's eyes met the other's gaze.
He vaguely saw countless scenes emerging.
In those scenes, demons fell, divine spirits wept blood, the Human Race was in sorrow, aliens were in fear...
All sorts of scenes, like fleeting reflections in a mirror...
When Ye Luo regained his senses and tried to continue looking, he found that all the visions had dissipated.
Standing in front of him was only the figure in white.
"Who are you?"
Ye Luo couldn't help but ask.
"Wuji Continent, Jiang Baiyi,"
the figure in white uttered these words lightly...
